Changeology Clinic: Radical Permission to Disappoint Others

Send us a text *On alignment, approval, and why the most honest choice often looks wrong to everyone else* I thought I was just (procrastinating) planning a birthday party for my twins. Every time I thought about the party, I found myself knee-deep in shoulds: good-mom expectations, Pinterest-perfect pressure, and the quiet panic of wanting to do it “right.” Shouldn’t a “good mom” want to plan a big, fun party for her kids? Shouldn’t a “good mom” get excited about it? By the time I’d de...

In this conversation, Sarah De Block shares how one question—“Do I deserve joy?”—became the gateway to a completely different way of living. We talk about the hidden cost of “comfort,” the whisper of intuition underneath the noise of ambition, and how joy isn't a reward you earn for suffering—it’s something...

Send us a text In this episode of the Changeology podcast, I tackle one of the biggest roadblocks to making meaningful change: self-trust.

Changeology Clinic: The Silent Saboteurs: How "Shoulds" Derail Your Growth

In this episode of the Changeology podcast, I’m walking you through one of the most persistent—and insidious—roadblocks I see in my work with women navigating big life or career changes: the SHOULDs.

In this solo episode, I unpack what Shoulds really are, where they come from, and why they hold so much power over us. I a...

Stop Apologizing for What You Need: A More Compassionate Way to Communicate

In this episode of the Changeology podcast, I speak with Kate Brown, coach, holistic therapist, and educator, about how we can communicate our needs clearly and without guilt. If you are like many women I coach, you probably hesitate to ask for what you need. You might feel guilty. You might feel selfish. You might believe that someone will think less of you if you stop trying to anticipate and meet everyone else’s needs first. This is a problem. It keeps women stuck in unsatisfying careers, ...

The Number One Thing My Clients Say After Making a Big Life Change

In today’s episode, we dive into one of the most common reflections my clients have after making a major life change: “I wish I had done this sooner.” Whether it’s quitting a toxic relationship or pursuing a new career path, many of us delay making these big decisions because we fear what we will lose. In this episode, I explore why it’s so hard to take the leap, even when we know deep down that making the change would be better for us. The fear of loss, or “loss aversion bias,” often k...
